Bom Dia: November 2014

http://thecluffs.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html

Sunday, November 30, 2014. We have been doing some short bike rides on Sunday mornings to help the kids expend some energy before church at 1 pm. We go to 9 am church in January, which will be nice and challenging at the same time. :). Ben and I took some rides together too, but this picture is from one of his rides along the coast near San Diego. It looks like these guys are riding into heaven. Jillian is a ravenous sundae beastie. They all enjoyed their party. We took one Friday off of the kid's school...

Bom Dia: Family Night at the Top of the World

http://thecluffs.blogspot.com/2015/08/family-night-at-top-of-world.html

Wednesday, August 12, 2015. Family Night at the Top of the World. Shaunie had the brilliant idea to have family night at a park in Newport Coast. She whipped up a portable dinner while I blended up my own dinner (green smoothie) and off we went. Nom, nom, nom. Shaunie and the kids ate spaghetti with creamy tomato sauce and we all had some yummy watermelon, cucumbers, and raw broccoli. Jilly teaching us her lesson. Evelyn taking her turn teaching. Okay, now for a goofy photo. The payoff: Staring at the Sea.

Bom Dia: April 2014

http://thecluffs.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html

Wednesday, April 30, 2014. April is a busy month! It's the kick off to spring and birthdays and holidays for us. We took a bike ride one Sunday afternoon and happened upon this outdoor gallery of marble carvings. The kids now refer to it as La Luna Park ("The Moon" in Spanish. Statues mooning us, get it? Out on a ride with Ben and Gordon, getting to know the Back Bay trails a little better. Such a pretty view! I think Gordon may have been pointing out the birds or something. Neighborhood Easter egg hunt.

The Frying Finnigans: October 2011

http://thefryingfinnigans.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html

The exploits of our three favorite characters. M, J, and A Perhaps more to be added later :). Sunday, October 9, 2011. A" and her first pumpkin. It was love at first sight. "A" chose her pumpkin right off the bat, then checked all the rest out and came right back to the first one she picked. I guess she wasn't sure if we were going to let her keep it or not, because she quickly started running away with it as soon as she had it. Happy dad said she could keep it. Running through the hay maze.

Bom Dia: July 2014

http://thecluffs.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html

Thursday, July 31, 2014. First stop, Las Vegas. Not for a hotel this time. For Tacos El Gordo. This restaurant has really good, authentic tacos and Gordon gives it a thumbs up. We stayed at a very nice La Quinta in Ely, Nevada that night. It had a good breakfast spread and swimming pool. Then we got stuck in road construction the next day and I led an impromptu stretching session while we waited. We made it to Idaho in time for Ev's ninth birthday where we at eclair torte. And the Benjamin Bat. Don't you...

The Frying Finnigans: June 2010

http://thefryingfinnigans.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html

The exploits of our three favorite characters. M, J, and A Perhaps more to be added later :). Sunday, June 27, 2010. These are the last three of the tomatoes that grew in our garden this summer. We planted them last summer, after one of J’s coworkers had given us the starter plant. She said it was a variety she had a lot of success with. Of course she knew more than we did (most people do when it comes to gardening) so we planted them with high hopes. Thursday, June 17, 2010. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Bom Dia: September 2014

http://thecluffs.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html

Friday, September 19, 2014. Fall is the beginning of all craziness that is school and the holiday season. We had lots of fun to extend our summer in this month too, though. First off, the annual Disney passes. Sniff, sniff. They were almost expired. Gordon riding Splash Mountain with us one more time, Jill and I scared of the drop as ever, and Gordon declared at the end of the ride that he still didn't like it. And thus ended the year of Disneyland. And it was good unto us. Boom First day of school for a...

Bom Dia: June 2014

Monday, June 30, 2014. Palomar Mountain Camping Trip. To celebrate the end of the school year, we booked a camping trip to some mountains southeast of us, the Palomar Mountain area. It gets snow in the winter (5000-6000 ft in elevation), although with the drought, it seemed the area had not seen significant moisture in quite some time. Excited for tinfoil dinners! They were super tasty. It got dark not too long after this, so we read from "The Chronicles of Narnia," and then went to bed. We found this bi...

Bom Dia: Easter and Spring Break 2015

http://thecluffs.blogspot.com/2015/04/easter-and-spring-break-2015.html

Sunday, April 12, 2015. Easter and Spring Break 2015. Ben's cousin Jeff was in town for work and wanted to meet up with Uncle Dan and us for dinner. So we headed up early to beat the traffic (taking 6 freeways in the process) and visited this place, and got a tour. They make one of the most popular video games on the planet. While waiting for Uncle Dan to get off work, we played around on Uncle Dan's fat bike. Funny candy courtesy of Grandma Chickens. Later in the afternoon after conference had ended, we...
